Re: Ben Lamaak

I noticed that as well...thought maybe his knee isn't quite 100% yet? Would be easier to sub for a tackle than for the center, as subbing for the center may disrupt the center/QB flow. By practicing with Lamaak at tackle and someone else at center all week, JT would have the entire week to get used to the other guy's snapping.

It is worth noting that while Alverez didn't start at center all year, he does have a lot of experience at the position, so given that Tiller was under a lot of pressure the coaches might have decided it was better to leave the gametime decision to another position and let Tiller have consistency in the snaps.

Re: Ben Lamaak

Burris was banged up so he didn't start (but played), so Lamaak slid to RT where he had experience, Alvarez slid to C, where he had experience, and Smith played G, because he was the team's 6th best OL.
